I have a 2013 F150 with 3.5 ecoboost. It started the other day when I went hunting “rough road”. Approaching the truck after the hunt, I attempted to remote start to warm it up, but it wouldn’t work. Didn’t think much of it, but I’m back tracking to try to find the issue. I lost my “master” key a long time ago and use my spare to start the truck. I have another that is aftermarket, the buttons work, but not the key. Anyway. Truck starts up but no heat. The blower isn’t working. So I check fuses and end up pulling the blower motor to check it. It’s fine put everything back together and the truck won’t start. I get STARTING SYSTEM FAULT, HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT, SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, LOW OIL PRESSURE, ENGINE OVERTEMP, REMOVE OBJECTS NEAR THE PASSENGER SEAT.

I checked the kick panel on the passenger side and the bottom connector had been knocked loose, figured from me taking blower motor out. So I thought that was the issue, but still nothing. So I try to unplug and plug it back in and the one above it. When I plugged the one above it back in the blower motor started running. 🤷‍♂️

So far I’ve checked every fuse and relay. Even bought new PCM relay. New battery. Checked every plug I can find. Unplugged then cleaned with electrical cleaner. Unhooked battery over night with + and - connected. Jumped starter, It’s good.

Should I just have it towed to Ford garage? I know that’s the most expensive option, but I’m just out of ideas.

Thanks!

 

Maybe check all of the fuses before having it towed.

 

Try getting your alternator tested.

 

what did you find out and so I got this right no crank no start at the moment.To reset the pats system, turn on the ignition and hold reset for about 5 seconds until a word testt shows up. then push reset repeatedly until it shows dtc and read the code if there is one. after done, turn the ignition off. it should reset automatically.
